Abstract
This study takes the position that present after-school classes affect the development of children's sociality and self-esteem, and aims at comparing, analyzing and grasping the differences in sociality and self-esteem of the children who attend after-school classes and those of the children who don't. First, when the differences of sociality were analyzed between the children going to after-school classes and those who weren't, it was revealed that those who attended after-school classes had rather lower level of sociality than those who didn't, but there were no statistically meaningful differences. Second, when the differences of self-esteem in regard to whether children took after-school classes or not were examined, those who were taking after-school classes were analyzed to have lower self-esteem than those who weren't. The study results showed that the children who went to after-school classes had lower sociality and self-esteem compared to those who didn't. Taking this fact into consideration, different ways should be found to improve their sociality and self-esteem. In addition, programs need to be developed and introduced so that after-school classes can not only fulfill their original purposes of protecting and guiding children, but also continuously elevate and maintain children's sociality and self-esteem.
